Can someone explain how Proportional factors get generated when we setup a new product with LIKE profile settings? We are getting forecast generated at lower levels such as customer characteristic at levels we would not anticipate, and we don't see any proportional factors generated.
Example: we have Existing product A and new product B. We setup the LIKE profile for Product B to replace product A. At the product level the forecast is generated correctly. Currently product A has customers 1, 2, 3, 4 where customer 3 has 80% of the volume and customer 4 has 15% and customers 1 & 2 have the remaining volume. When the forecast is generated for product B customer 4 is getting 60%, customer 3 50% and 1 & 2 the remaining volume. There are no proportional factors generated for this new product. When I try to create proportional factors for the new product it says there is no historical shipments to use which would be correct. How do I get the dis aggregation of customers under product B to use the proportions that were used for product A?
